>>1252Gacha rates are shit, but it doesn't matter because the game hands out SSRs and pulls like candy. It's not uncommon for even f2p players to have full collections.
You get an SSR/SP given to you in the reward shop for every event (roughly 1 or 2 a month). There are summoning events where you are given a free SSR every x summons, usually around 100 or so. It's not a pity but an extra SSR that gets dropped in your lap, so it doesn't reset if you get any in your pulls. There are usually around 2 summon events a year where the first SSR/SP you pull is guaranteed to be one you haven't gotten before, which is great for finishing off your collection when you're only missing a few. There are shards for each shiki that can be traded between players and allow you to summon that shiki when you've collected 50 of them – if you join a good guild, shards for older shikis will often just be handed to you for free by veteran players because we simply have no use for them. When a new SSR/SP is introduced, there are ranking events that will give you shards for placing in the top 10k or whatever, with top 100 getting the entire 50 shards. It's possible to no-life grind these events if you really want to get the shiki asap without spending money but I don't recommend doing it unless you hate yourself. Overall the game is very generous.
Additionally, if you don't care about pvp or bragging rights leaderboards, getting SSRs doesn't even matter. Many SR/R shikis are very good, with some of them even being actual meta. Team comp and the quality of your souls (equips) is more important than shiki rarity. But on that note I will warn you that the game is a grindfest, soul stats are RNG and then which substats rank up when you level them is also RNG. If all you care for is PvE and being able to see the story, it doesn't matter much, but I know there are some people who physically cannot stop themselves from minmaxing if the option is available to them despite hating it. If you're one of those kinds of players then soul optimization will be a nightmare.
>that picSeeing this outfit always makes me sad because it was supposed to be an official outfit for the adult version of the char, but CN fans complained that it was too cutesy/housewifey and didn't suit him so it ended up getting scrapped. I'll never forgive them…
>chinese fujos get away with a lot more than jp ones doShe's actually Japanese and deletes all her gayest stuff shortly after posting it. But of course, it's the internet, so people have it saved anyways. But the CN side also has the official artist for the char you posted, who is a fudanshi and has drawn actual porn of the adult version of the char.
